So for my 2000 B5, the interior below the window-line is all black. Above that it's grey. When you look in through the front window, everything is black, except the damned rear view mirror.

I never could stand that, so in a fit of cheap mod fever last weekend, I took the sucker out and painted it flat black. That made a huge difference. I will post some pics tomorrow, but I can't believe I didn't do this earlier.

Ha! Sure Randy. I have found that this is an incurable disease, but you can learn to live with it.

First off, you will need to talk about it frankly with any loved ones: "Now hon, I need to tell you about my mod disease. No this isn't something I picked up on that trip to Borneo. I need to mod my car and I need your support. But first, I need the credit card, baby!"

LMAO - well lucky for me I do not have that hurdle in my way. Bachelorhood is the life for me!!!

That drove me nuts too with our GTI :wink: I looked and looked and could not find a cheap way to fix it.

So..... here is what I did...

The best solution I couldcome up with was to buy an S4. Seems to be the only B5 that came with a black upper interior AND a black rear view mirror. Then I became so focused on the fact that it had a rear view mirror I had to tint the front window.

I think your mod may have been a cheaper route, thanks for the tip. I will keep it in mind for the future
